Winter can be a hard season, especially in the middle of a pandemic. There's snow, ice, freezing temperatures, dark days, a tendency toward isolation and introspection. But winter can also be wonderful if looked at and experienced with a positive attitude. Here's the question: how do you survive the winter? What are some tips you can share to make the best of the cold season?
Of course, the first measure is to reduce the number of going out. For example, when I go to the supermarket in winter, I usually buy more frozen food (because I can't cook). As long as I buy more at one time, I can effectively reduce the number of going out. The second is to stay at home. To be honest, I haven't been out of home for more than a week in winter. And remember to turn on the air conditioner. It's really important. Finally, prepare one or two cotton padded jackets in the wardrobe in case you have to go out.
ReplyDeleteSo in my city in Spain, normally we don’t go lower than 2°C more or less, so is not that hard, but here is completely different, and is weird to see how people are used to it. A part from this, I don’t dislike isolation or dark days so maybe im not the best for giving any type of advice. The only thing I could say is enjoy snow and how beautiful it is.

This winter I’m spending more time inside than before because in this time of the pandemic I don’t really have where to go.Also,I came here in America for almost a year and some things that I was doing back in Serbia during winter season I can’t do here. For that reason, I’m trying to concentrate on school work and develop myself academically as much as I can.When I have chance to go out I always go,but if I’m not out I’m mostly in the dorms doing something fun.

ReplyDeleteWinter may be a dream for somebody, especially people who never witnessed it. However, I had fought with winter. I would say it’s a nightmare for me. It impeded and changed my casual lifestyle. I would stay in the room most of the time since it’s dangerous and unpleasant to do outdoor activities. I also would limit myself from taking too much bath. Wearing more clothes would be a good tip for people.It can keep your body warm and may protect you from getting sick.
In Spain we don’t have this cold, so at the beginning I was very eager to experience cold weather and snow. Although I wasn’t very conscious of how cold it is. I still go outside and do a lot of activities. However, it is true that sometimes I am not very enthusiastic about going outside because of the cold. For me, what helps me when there is bad weather is to warm myself, put on some music and be with friends.

In my hometown, the temperature is below -10 degrees every winter, so I know a lot of skills to survive in winter, such as storing vegetables that can survive in winter, and storing a lot of meat. There is no heating in some places in my hometown. We need to prepare firewood. Or coal to keep the house warm.
ReplyDeleteSouth Korea and Maine's winter is very similar. So during winter I usually stay in inside of house. When I stay in my house I usually cook some foods, watch movie, have time with my family and friends. On the other hand, I likes to go outside. The reason why is I think snow is really beautiful and I like cold weather. Also, I likes to play snowball fight, snowboarding, take beautiful pictures. Even winter is very cold, we can enjoy winter.

ReplyDeleteFirst, winter season in Maine is colder than Japan. So I brought many warm clothes. I recommend to wear warm clothes in layers. And wearing thermal underwear is so warm. Next, when I go outside, I always wear neck warmer. It prevents that my body gets cold. Generally our bodies get cold from the skin that are naked. So it’s important point that do not expose the skin as much as possible. That’s my way to survive the winter.
ReplyDeleteIn common, most days during the winter are snowy day. For me, to overcome the terrible snowing day, I wear boots and warm clothes. Moreover, the best way to survive from snowy day is just a stay inside. By the way, my favoti
ReplyDeleteTe weather is snowy day! I love to make a snowman🥺
DeleteThe weather hear in Maine is much different than it is in my country. It's always hot in Vietnam, even in winter. This is the first time I experience cold weather like this. However, the cold winter make me stay home almost all the times, it's boring. When I go out, I wear warm clothes. If it's too boring, find some indoor sports or just simply do some exercise to warm up our body.

ReplyDeleteIn Vietnam, I have never see snow in Vietnam before and only few places on mountain at North of Vietnam. So when I came here, I have no experience about cold weather. So I usually wear a lot of warm clothe and limit go outside and try to keep body warm. Also in Vietnam difference of daytime is not much as here so it make me feel the time go faster, so I try to used to this unusual events.
The Korea's winter is similar as Maine. there was a lot of snow and cold temperature. So, there is a lot of things that can help to overcome the weather. For example, we use portable hand heater when we go to school or some trips. In addition, Korea has On-dol boiler that is good at heat the house effectively.
ReplyDeleteI will recommend people to read some books and make habit as reading book. That is going to be the best way to spend time efficiently and wisely. Also it will help you to live the life easily. Firstly the reason why I recommend that is because that at least not letting you to waste time unlike just holding phone and using SNS such as instagram, snapchat ,which are short memory entertainment. We cannot remember those funny memories, and they are unhealthy for your brain. But when we read book, that helps us to accumulate knowledge or sophistication from reading books. Also as we trying to read books, we are going to get habits as well. These are going to really helpful for doing during isolation winter period.

ReplyDeleteThis winter, I have been staying in China and it is very difficult. Internet reasons will make me and the school very inconvenient, but I have not given up on solving problems positively and optimistically. Winter is a colorful season, because in China The epidemic is also very serious, and we sometimes do interesting things at home or just look at writing and doing homework to improve ourselves.
I love winter, I really like the feeling of having cold, I enjoy the snow and I like skiing when it's too cold I will rather be inside and drink some tea, watch a movie, but if there is an opportunity to go outside and okay with the snow I always take it. The pandemic show me how much I enjoy to be outside
